Looking for advice on how often to feed my little boy. One midwife said 4 hourly the other said feed…

I'd do by him. I always did 4 hourly with my other 2, but my third baby has to be fed every 3 hours. There was no way she stretched 4 hours, trust me I tried 😂look for his signals and time how often it seems to be. Some say feed on demand but I think that's more for breastfeeding x

@haribo83 it's just he was only 5lb 1oz so i wanna make sure im doing everything right first time mum.

My lil one fed every 2 hours as thats what she needed and is perfect weight, I would just go with what ever he wants and needs hon X

Thanks

@sarahthe, bless him. You should start to notice a pattern soon x

Thanks

I woke mine every 3 hours to feed them xx

@sarahthe

@bonnieb all he does is sleep. I feel bad waking him up but he was so little.

@chesscalouise2 all he does i sleep at the moment

Woke him for a feed or feed him when hes asleep @sarahthe

He doesnt drink a bottle very well and he wouldn't be breastfed. Fingers crossed.

I've been told to feed on demand he health visitor cause he's a good weight, but midwife said wake him every two hours but I don't do that... I just feed on demand so when he decides he's hungry I feed him

@bonnieb what milk are you on now? Its very had work forcing.. we are struggling now :( xx

@bonnieb yes weve had the exact same struggles.

What symptoms of an allergy does he have?

How much does he weigh xx

Thats a good weight hun!

Does he not refuse bottles anymore then? Xx
